Comments: Digipak.

Stripping down to the most minimal of rhythmic backbeats and simplest of organ and guitar riffs, the Walkmen wring even more emotion from even less song clutter on their newest and possibly best. Tuneful and expressive, these songs celebrate the simple joy and desperation of life at the bottom, adding touches of mariachi horns, Sun Records reverb and New Orleans shuffle. Hamilton Leithauser's voice and lyrics are as gut-punching, world-weary and intricate as ever. The sound of a great band honing its sound to a knife-edge!
